Phoenix AZ - N-400 Timeline

Phx Girl,

I dont understand the comment of the IO tat they send the IL only a couple of weeks before the ID.

I got my IL, for ID on March 18th - that was 7 weeks away.
Even other posting on the site have been 5-8 weeks...

I guess it takes a while to get the ltter in the mail - so wait for a few days..
 
I think it's just their way, once again, to make people stop calling them.
I know that's not true. If I haven't received it by now, I probably won't be getting it.
I'll be surprised if I do.
That's why I've already scheduled an infopass, so I can get a copy of the IL, to show at the interview.
 
Congratulations!!!!!I am so so happy for you,finally!!!

Went to the interview. The parking was full. Almost an hour passed after I gave my IL, so I asked them if they had me scheduled today. Shortly after, my husband and I were called for the appointment. The IO was professional. I was impressed :)

Ok ... he explained why I had trouble with all my applications after my F1 & OPT Visas. He said the person who filled out my H1B, GC and N400 did a mistake on all of those applications. He said my name was wrong. The system was confused with my middle name and maiden name not matching with social security. We had to do a name change. Even though I had reviewed my applications, I had relied on the lawyer I had paid top money to. Yep, the lawyer no longer has any of our family members as clients and no referrals. We were impressed on the professionalism the IO had.

He asked a few questions. Our governor is now Jan Brewer so that was the answer I gave him. he looked at me ... so I told him it was Janet before ... he went into more questions :) as to what deparment she is now assigned to :) he smiled when I gave him the answer ... DHS.

I passed! He told me that he will work on a short time for my OL and I should have my OL in 2 wks. He said it should not be longer than that ;)

My advice: if you are applying based on marriage, keep your name or your wife's name with the maiden name until you have the N400 interview, at the interview change your name if you want too.

Thank you, Thank you so much to everyone on this forum

I'm sticking around :) this forum and will let you know when I get OD

If you don't have something to show that you have an appointment I don't think they will let you in the door.

Still no Oath date for me yet, unless it came today, I'm in NC and my wife hasn't checked the mail yet.
 
Phx_Girl, I'm happy you have an Infopass :) make sure they don't give you a post-it!

ncgirl, thanks :)
 
suddenly I feel that there's a buzz on the forum...

Things seem to be moving...

Cregan - your mail was fast.. I am excited to see that your Oath date is 3 weeks from ID.

Rox,

we have exact same time lines, could you please join Q4 filers tracker its easy to share info that way. One more thing, my online status is changed recently to error, it was received and processing. Another indication that the files is moved to DO.
 
:mad:

I got a post-it note!

I told her I wouldn't be able to get in w/ that. She suggested I make an infoPass appt for that day and time (the day of the interview), so they'd let me get in. She said she's asked before and she's been told she can't print a duplicate IL.
I asked her to go back and ask again, just so I'd feel better that she went back there and asked. Took her about 10 min. Then she came back out w/ a sheet that has a list of everything I need for the interview, she used that as the new post-it note and wrote the date and time of the interview on that. She said that was all they would give her. It's just a general information sheet.

I asked the guards outside, as I went out, if they would let me in w/ that paper on the day of my interview. He said they have a list of the day's appts, and that as long as I had my identification w/ me, I would be allowed in.
Just in case, I plan on scheduling an infopass for that day, just to make sure I get in.

I had a really bad day yesterday, I decided, I would just not let this get to me too. I have my interview in about a month, that's all that counts.
(big breath in, slow breath out:eek: )
 
Phx_Girl, I'm sorry. Phoenix USCIS has no bedside matters, they work against us. My husband asked our Interview IO if the post-it would have work and we got the impression it wouldn't work.

I'm sorry, for sure make that infopass. Maybe try to call USCIS to speak to a 2nd Lv IO and ask them to mail you another one or see if they can fax it?

USCIS Customer Service in Phoenix is not to help people
 
thx, Cregan. I will call tomorrow and see what they say.
I'll try not to think negative, but I can almost guess their response.
 
I know what you mean. I had many infopasses and only 2 window rep were nice.

I'm sure you read my posts when I got scared, but if they call you to-deschedule, say no and asked to be interviewed anyways. I so do not trust the Phx DO, lol

Maybe you can contact a Senator or House Representative to get them a copy. Kelly at Congressman Jeff Flake went above and beyond. I emailed and faxed her my concerns. Craig Weismer at Senator Jon Kyl was really nice too and fast. Arizona has nice politicians :) the 2 I've mentioned were fast and helpful. Maybe you want to give them a try.

Wow, a post-it? That's just unprofessional. It may not matter in the end, but I'd make sure to send complaint letters to just about anyone involved with USCIS te denote the unprofessional nature of providing post-it notes for such official business.
 
Honestly, though, would anyone really care?
I know they should and all, but when has USCIS showed they cared about their "customers"? It's not like you can just stop doing "business" w/ them and go somewhere else, or avoid them entirely, well not until we complete our oath anyway.
I just want to be done w/ them.
I might write the letters to the politicians, they may be able to do more, than I alone can.

Just keeping the thread alive

Phx Girl,
I guess, you should already be looking at what to do for your Oath Letter. Going by Past history, I guess you do not expect to get that letter either.
 
asdasd, thanks for keeping it alive :) miss this thread, lol

Oh ya, you do have a point about calling for the Oath :) I would call every other day

Phx_Girl, did you contact our politicians concerning your IL?

Thx, everyone.
I guess the upcoming "event" we have is Cregan's oath.
Any more oath letters?

I will call the 800 number to get updates on an oath date, if God willing I pass the test and am "Approved" for citizenship. :)
We went to Mexico this weekend for my nephew's wedding, while there I received my IL at home. The PO returned the first letter, marking it as "BOX Closed". They did the same thing w/ my oldest daughter's Passport. My husband and other kids got their passport, but her's was returned, also marked as "BOX Closed". Good thing someone at the NC Passport office called me and informed of the mistake. I had her re-send it and I got it the second time around.
I am going to have a talk w/ my PO this week.

At least I have my IL, and USCIS was kind enough to mail it to my home.
There is HOPE.;) lol
I'm also studying the civics question.
